The Wildebeest Migration is a dramatic story.
It takes place within Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya and Serengeti National
Park in Tanzania and is the greatest wildlife show on earth.
Between the open plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara,
thousands of wildebeest and zebras migrate to greener pastures as the
seasons change and the circle of life and death continues. Predators
follow the Wildebeest Migration closely, waiting for an opportunity to
strike weak prey as they make their way into different territories.
The precise timing of the Wildebeest migration changes
annually and it is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event.
The calving season takes place in the Serengeti between the months of
January and mid-March before the Wildebeest Migration begins heading
towards the western Serengeti in June. The best time to see the
migration in Serengeti is usually between May
and June
when the wildebeest
congregate and prepare to cross the famous Grumeti River. Mbango safaris has
an excellent camp in this area where you can stay to witness this
natural phenomenon. In Masai Mara you can expect the
wildebeest to make their arrival as early as June, but they generally
arrive between July
and August and remain in the Mara till October. Between November
and December the wildebeest
gradually begin their migration back towards the Serengeti.
We believe that going on our
migration safari to view and witness the migration
is one of the ultimate safari experiences that East Africa has to offer.
